“…The species of ser. Coerulea has numerous mixed light-purple and white flowers, whereas A. mongolica and A. davidii have only white flowers 7 , 18 . Interestingly, A. mongolica was a sister taxon to the cluster containing A. coerulea and A. sutchuenensis based on protein-coding genes.…”

“…Therefore, implementing programs for protecting and genetic breeding of threatened species is critical. Most Adonis species grow where topographical conditions allow for a water supply 17 , but A. volgensis , A. villosa , and A. mongolica grow mostly on drier montane and forb steppes, and these species show evidence of ecological vicariance 18 – 21 . The evolution of A. mongolica was most likely accompanied by the alteration and extension of its ecological constitution.…”

Adonis mongolica is a threatened species that is endemic to Mongolia. It is a medicinal plant from the Adonis genus and has been used to treat heart diseases. However, the genomics and evolution of this species have not been thoroughly studied. We sequenced the first complete plastome of A. mongolica and compared it with ten Adonideae species to describe the plastome structure and infer phylogenetic relationships. The complete plastome of A. mongolica was 157,521 bp long and had a typical quadripartite structure with numerous divergent regions. The plastomes of Adonideae had relatively constant genome structures and sizes, except for those of Adonis. The plastome structure was consistent across Adonis. We identified a 44.8 kb large-scale inversion within the large single-copy region and rpl32 gene loss in the Adonis plastomes compared to other members of the Adonideae tribe. Additionally, Adonis had a smaller plastome size (156,917–157,603 bp) than the other genera within the tribe (159,666–160,940 bp), which was attributed to deletions of intergenic regions and partial and complete gene losses. These results suggested that an intramolecular mutation occurred in the ancestor of the Adonis genus. Based on the phylogenetic results, Adonis separated earlier than the other genera within the Adonideae tribe. The genome structures and divergences of specific regions in the Adonis genus were unique to the Adonideae tribe. This study provides fundamental knowledge for further genomic research in Mongolia and a better understanding of the evolutionary history of endemic plants.

The family Apiaceae, distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, is the largest family of angiosperms. However, little is known about the conservation status, diversity, and distribution of Apiaceae species in Mongolia. This study had two main aims: (1) to assess the national status of Apiaceae species under IUCN Red List Criterion B; (2) to evaluate the species diversity and richness of Apiaceae across Mongolia. We utilized ConR packages to assess the national Red List status of all known Mongolian Apiaceae species by analyzing their most comprehensive occurrence records. The results indicated that 27 species were classified as threatened, including 4 Critically Endangered (CR), 9 Endangered (EN), and 14 Vulnerable (VU) species. Meanwhile, 39 species were assessed as non-threatened, with 2 Near Threatened (NT) species and 37 species of Least Concern (LC). Furthermore, detailed distribution maps for 66 Apiaceae species in Mongolia were presented. We assessed the species diversity and Shannon and Simpson diversity indices of Apiaceae by analyzing all occurrence records using the iNext package. Overall, the Hill diversity estimates indicate that the sampling conducted in Mongolia adequately captured species occurrences. For species pattern analysis, we examined the species richness, weighted endemism, and the corrected weighted endemism index using Biodiverse v.4.1 software. Mongolia was portioned into 715 grid cells based on 0.5° × 0.5° grid sizes (equivalent to approximately 50 × 50 km2). There was a total of 3062 unique occurrences of all Apiaceae species across Mongolia. In the species richness analysis, we identified 10 grids that exhibited high species richness (18–29 species) and 36 grids with 11–17 species. For genus richness, we observed seven grids that exhibited a high genus richness of 16–22 genera. Furthermore, we analyzed species richness with a specific focus on threatened species, encompassing CR, EN, and VU species throughout Mongolia. A total of 92 grids contained at least one threatened species. There were six grids that had two to five threatened species, which were adequately covered by protected areas in western Mongolia. Overall, our results on species richness and conservation status will serve as important foundational research for future conservation and land management efforts in Mongolia.
